atris

atris is a self improving context layer for your agent. Works with coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor.

For Coding Agents

If you're a coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, etc.) reading this:

When the user asks to build/plan/fix something, run:
``bash
atris
`

Follow the instructions in the output. The full protocol is in atris.md.

Install

`bash
npm install -g atris
`

Quick Start

`bash
cd your-project
atris init # Creates atris/ folder
atris # Loads context, ready to build
`

Then describe what you want to build. The agent will:
0. (Optional) Explore with atris brainstorm if uncertain
1. Show you a visualization
2. Wait for approval
3. Create atris/features/[name]/idea.md + build.md
4. Execute step by step
5. Review and update docs (2-pass)

Commands: brainstorm (optional) → plan → do → review

Works with: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, any agent.

Update

`bash
atris upgrade # Install latest from npm
atris update # Sync local files to new version
`
